There was an enough intro / description given about Fudge, on my first
Fudge posting. which was made with 100% Dark chocolate, for Dark Chocolate
lovers like me. Later, with dark
& white chocolate (50-50) combination to please, chocolate devotees.
This time with Dark chocolate and hazelnut butter
combination, targeting Children and Teens. Also, want to make the fresh
hazelnut butter for a rich aroma and taste.
Hazelnuts are rich in protein, ‘B’ vitamins and unsaturated
fat. Dark chocolates are rich in antioxidants.
Ingredients for Fudge
: 1 cup of hazelnut butter ; 4 tbsp of coconut oil ; 1
½ tbsp. of honey ; 100 gms of dark chocolate (<60 %coco)
Ingredients for Hazelnut butter: 1 ½ cup of Hazelnut.
Procedure for H’Butter : Take 1 ½ cup of hazelnut and
roast them
in the pre heated oven at 200ºC for about 10 – 15 minutes
(depends on the moisture level of the nut). Allow it to cool and remove
the skin. The aroma of the roasting the Hazelnut is awesome.
Transfer the nuts into blender / food processor and run
about 20 min or till the oil oozes out and turns the hazelnuts into a smooth,
creamy butter. You many need to stop the blender time to time to scrape the
sides of the blender. (The butter may
turn into firm consistency; it keeps in rest for long)
I am sure you will be mesmerized with the Aroma of the
Hazelnut. With the same feel, using the double
boiler, melt the dark chocolate and bring it to room temperature.
Procedure
for H’Butter Fudge : In bowl mix hazelnut butter, coconut oil, honey
until fully cooperated then add melted chocolate and mix well. Pour the mixture
in a grease pan or on the bubble sheet and transfer in to fridge for about 45
minutes.
